Affiliate Level Solution | Pharmacovigilance

Flexible, compliant and cost effective

With the global harmonisation of local pharmacovigilance (PV) regulations, the role of affiliates has evolved into a dual role - driving commercial growth and managing pharmacovigilance activities. Regulatory and PV operations have become increasingly burdensome, and the complexity of pharmacovigilance continues to grow.

Our pharmacovigilance experts provide an efficient and regulatory-compliant solution while retaining the expertise of a local presence. A centrally managed, geographically dispersed model leverages our established processes and technology infrastructure. This flexible outsourced solution ensures your head office and affiliates have access to skilled resources when needed, while maintaining essential oversight of local activities.

ICON delivers an affiliate service to 80 countries, with established capabilities in many more.

Our team has a proven track record of successfully delivering projects within the affiliate model across Asia, the Pacific, Europe, North and South America, the Middle East, and Africa, achieving over 99% compliance in ICSR submissions.
